Israeli Ambassador Meir Shlomo announced on Sunday (August 30) that Thailand has been added to his country’s list of 21 safe countries, whose citizens will be exempted from the 14-day quarantine when they travel to Israel.

However, he said, this list will be reviewed every fortnight.
The ambassador added that this exemption also covers Thai labourers who work in Israel’s farming sector.
Last week, 92 Thai workers headed off to Israel for employment, becoming the first such group to travel overseas after Covid-19 hit the world.
